The resignation of Harvard scientist David Sinclair, a key figure in NAD therapy research, has cast doubts on the efficacy of anti-ageing treatments, potentially impacting China's booming NMN supplement industry. Despite Sinclair's controversial claims and financial conflicts of interest, Chinese companies like GeneHarbor have significantly reduced NMN production costs, making the supplements more accessible. However, regulatory hurdles and scientific skepticism continue to challenge the industry's growth.
David Sinclair, a Harvard biologist and anti-aging researcher, claims that he has reversed his "biological age" by 10 years through a series of lifestyle changes, including following a plant-based diet, forgoing alcohol, and following a strict morning routine involving "nontoxic" toothpaste, coconut oil pulling, and intermittent fasting. Sinclair's morning routine includes oil pulling, hot water with lemon, "nontoxic" toothpaste, yogurt with polyphenols, green matcha tea, and working at a standing desk. While some of these habits are lauded for their health benefits, large-scale scientific research to support some of the claims is lacking.
